According to the Mongolian Law on Special Protected area, the zonation includes three distinct zones: pristine, conservation and limited use zones. The main conservation objectives of the pristine and conservation zones are to preserve important spring, winter and autumn habitats of the Mongolian gazelle. Areas with potential for ecologically sustainable tourism, places of traditional religious importance and areas with frontier unit activities have been designated as limited-use zones where livestock, culling of wildlife, forest cleaning and maintenance, and collection of some plants and other natural resources for household purposes are allowed.
